IPython notebook doesn't automatically load pylab unless you've set
something in the command line or in a config file to make it do that. It is
loading another C extension, however (pyzmq), which may produce the same
effect.
If you use IPython mechanisms to activate pylab mode, such as running
%pylab, then it also sets up integration with a GUI toolkit for matplotlib,
which could also interfere with Neuron.
